Front camber - Will I need it and how to get it? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

BCTV93 · 09-03-2015, 07:53 PM

So I'm currently on stock springs and wheels.
Thinking of getting XXR 550s in +19 offset from a friend for a good deal.
I also am getting Eibach ProKit soon.
My main questions are:
Will the wheels fit naturally? After an alignment from spring install of course.
And if I want front camber to avoid any rubbing, what would I need? Just SPC Camber Bolts?

Sorry for my lack of knowledge.

What wheel width and diameter? +19 might end up with a lot of poke depending on wheel width, probably more poke than you'll be able to get rid of with camber from bolts alone.

18x8.75 possible just 17x8.75.
I actually like poke and eventually want to wide-body.
I kinda like the Mexi-flush look tbh. Please don't flame me.
But yeah, I don't mind the poke or camber, I'm more afraid of rubbing issues.

Just invest in a set of coilovers

I'm already poking out with 17x9 +35. +19 is going to be out there for sure.

I understand there will be poke, I like that, but will it rub/will there be fitment/turning issues under a Pro Kit?

Just get proper wheels. +19 will probably have over an inch of poke. Camber doesn't fix poke either.

^ What he said.

I dont know about an entire inch of poke, but unless you raise the ride height to where it's impossible for the tire to make contact with the fender lip it going to make contact. Or maybe, just maybe it might clear with some insane amount of camber and super undersized tires stretched on..... You should ask some of the "hellaflush" crew over at the wheel fitment threads.

It kinda does though... the more camber you have, the more the top is tucked in. Sure the bottom of the wheel is way out, but at the fender it'll look more flush.

That said, the amount of camber needed to get rid of an inch of poke is extreme.

18x8.75 width with +19 offset will still poke out a good amount if using just camber bolts up front. itll give you that "mexi-flush" look though if thats what you're in to. youre going to need to stretch your tires a bit and get like 225/40 so you dont bang up the front fender (depending on how low your car is).

Exactly, you can tuck the top, but you can't fix poke. At the end of the day, your wheels will be getting intimate with a curb that's a foot away.
